Salmon Rice Bowl Recipe-
What is a Salmon Rice Bowl? A salmon bowl has all the flavors you’d expect in a sushi but deconstructed, similar to our Sushi Bowl Recipe. Can you stop
If you have leftover salmon, this rice bowl is a great way to use up leftover salmon. Grilled Salmon or the Air Fryer Salmon would work great in this bowl.
Ingredients:
I love this recipe as it’s so versatile and may be changed to your personal liking. This is our take on the popular TikTok Salmon Rice Bowl.
- Rice- Any rice will work for this recipe. We used long-grain white rice for the bowl. Brown rice, jasmine, sushi rice, or basmati rice will all be great substitutes.
- Salmon- Fresh or thawed salmon is needed, don’t use frozen salmon. Skinless salmon is great but salmon with skin will work just as great.
- Avocado- Be sure the avocado is ripe, you can slice or cube the avocado or even make Guac!
- Cucumber- And English cucumber or mini cucumbers will work.
- Carrot- A fresh cucumber adds crispiness to the bowl.
- Corn- You can use fresh corn or canned corn.
- Sauce- For the sauce, we just used half a portion of our Teriyaki Sauce for added flavor.
How to Make Salmon Rice Bowl-
The salmon bowl comes together so quickly and it is so easy to make. It is the perfect dinner idea for a busy evening or meal planning.
- Cook Rice- Cook your rice according to package instructions, fluff, and cover to keep warm. You can also use leftover rice.
- Make Teriyaki Sauce- If you want homemade teriyaki, we used half a portion of our Homemade Teriyaki Sauce. Make the sauce and just cut everything in half.
- Saute Corn- If you want your corn hot, saute it with ½ Tbsp butter until golden.
- Cook Salmon Fillets- Meanwhile, prepare one portion of our Pan-Seared Salmon recipe. Leave the salmon whole or cut it into 1-inch cubes before or after cooking. If you want cubed salmon, it will cook much quicker.
- Prep Veggies- Julienne the carrot, slice the avocado and cucumber.
- Assemble Bowl- In a bowl, add your cooked rice. Arrange the avocado, cucumber, carrots, and salmon. Drizzle with the sauce and enjoy!
| Chef’s Tip: You can garnish with fresh herbs like green onion, cilantro, or parsley. |
Substitutes and Variations-
Here are some fun ways to switch up the salmon bowl!
- Protein– Use a different protein instead of the salmon, you can use any leftover meat you have like beef, chicken, shrimp, or tilapia.
- Grain- Quinoa, basmati rice, or buckwheat may be substituted for rice.
- Vegetable– Tomatoes, diced red onion, or lettuce may be added to the bowl.
- Sauce- Spicy Mayo or our Pesto Basil or lime juice would be a great substitute if you don’t want the teriyaki sauce.
- Seaweed- Add seaweed and sesame seed for an Asian-inspired bowl.
- Sriracha- Drizzle with sriracha for some heat.
Meal-prep & storing:
Here are ways to store leftovers and prepare the bowl for meal planning:
- Storing: If you have leftovers, they may be easily stored separately.
- Refrigerator: Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. Be sure to cut the avocado before serving, it will brown if refrigerated and sliced.
- Reheat: Reheat the rice and salmon in a skillet over low heat until reheated or in the microwave. Add to bowl and top with vegetables and sauce.
- Meal-prep: Prepare everything per instructions and divide it between your containers. Heat the rice and salmon and top with vegetables and sauce.
